Serov was optimistic about the possible favorable changes in the future, and focused his main efforts on the difficult bones. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 For example, countries that have historically withstood Soviet strategic attacks, such as the Congo, which separates pro-Soviet countries from Africa Kuwait and Qatar under the support of Saudi Arabia, Turkey blocking the Black Sea of the Soviet Union, etc., etc......

Iraq was nothing more than an appetizer for the Soviet Union's transition from defense to offense, and this is by no means the end. Geographically, even if the Soviet Union succeeded in Iraq, it could not be said that it would cut off Eurasia from the middle, but it was almost there. After the Communist Party of Iraq came to power, the area that still geographically separated the Soviet Union from the Persian Gulf was the border between Iran and Turkey. The Kurdish region, which was traditionally scattered between the two countries, became a Kurdish corridor that blocked the Soviet Union's southward movement after Iraq fell to the Soviet Union.

Although it did not succeed in World War I, it can be said that this corridor will not be a threat, this corridor is inhabited entirely by Kurds, and as long as the Soviet Union declares its support for Kurdish independence, no Kurdish tribe can refuse. It is not impossible to stabilize this corridor and continue to encircle the Soviet Union, as long as Turkey and Iran are determined to kill more than 10 million Kurds, but this kind of open purge of a people in modern society is no longer there after the Jews. I believe that neither country dares to do this, whether it is Iranian Shah Pahlavi or Turkish President Jeffdet? Sunai didn't have the guts to do that.

Leaving the problem to the other side is always a clever strategy, and this success has a great deal to do with the Soviet Union's operation for more than ten years, and without friendly relations with Syria, there will naturally be no success in this armed uprising. In the world, the international environment of the Soviet Union is quite favorable, and this all depends on the work of the Soviet Union over the years.

The KGB's thunderous tactics this time will gradually become known to the outside world over time. There is no impermeable wall in the world, but for the time being, it seems that it will take time for Western countries to straighten out the entire internal affairs of Iraq.

After the meeting of the Ministry of Defense, Serov and Marshal Grechko, Marshal Vasilevsky, Marshal Zhukov, Marshal Zakharov, Marshal Bilyutsov, Marshal Baghramyan, and Marshal Yeremenko discussed and adopted a plan for assistance in helping to build the Iraqi People's Army, according to which the Soviet Ministry of Defense and the KGB would form a military advisory group of 22,000 people to help Iraq in its military construction.

"Comrade Serov, in two days I hope you will be able to attend a ceremony to confer the title, after all, you are also one of the members of the National Defense Commission." Defense Minister Marshal Grechko, after the meeting, stopped Serov and whispered.

Serov's face changed, and his face was quite wonderful for a moment, and this kind of thing actually happened to him. It's funny, "I know, this kind of scene is quite rare, and I would love to witness history." ”

The next day, the Lubyanka welcomed a guest, the second Albanian figure Shehu, and after a long discussion, Serov, in the name of the Soviet State Security Council, aided the Albanian Ministry of Internal Affairs with two million dollars in exchange for the support of a thousand Albanian police cadres, who were to go to Iraq to carry out their missions, and the KGB promised to pay everyone double their salary in Albania, and in the event of a death in Iraq, they were guaranteed to give a good pension.

"These Albanians are still as greedy as ever, and they haven't changed." Zinev looked after the KGB's intelligence fund, and was clearly dissatisfied with Albania's attitude towards all the support.

"It seems like a little bit more expensive, but we still need them anyway." Serov looked at Shehu who was leaving by the window, and said to Zinev beside him, "Iraq is a peaceful religious region, and the religious forces are too strong, once the position of the Iraqi Communist Party is stable, we still have to attack religion, and only Albanians are real experts in this regard, you must know that Comrade Hoxha has been an imam for generations, and no one knows how to deal with deep-rooted religion better than him." ”

Just like the Orthodox Church was very miserable during the Stalin period, Stalin himself was a graduate of the seminary and knew the Orthodox Church very well, while Hoxha was even more ruthless, and his understanding of the Peace Religion was far greater than Stalin's, which caused the scene of religious extermination in Albania, and how to dig out the dark side of religion, these Albanian cadres know better than anyone else.

In fact, Serov also understands the basic principle, the dismantling of religion is not through any education, nor is it a liberation movement, nor by appeal, these methods are certainly effective, but they are not enough to kill. Albania's method is to directly attack famous religious figures, and there can be no scum in the entire group of honest clergy. Hoxha, as a descendant of an imam, knew better than anyone else, so his approach to dealing with the clergy was to find out the scum of the clergy one by one and record their own violations of the doctrine.

Once the apparently sanctimonious clergy are also found to have violated the doctrine by the police and shaken out their lack of virtue in private, it is better than the several methods mentioned by Serov, and the fact that the clergy violate the doctrine itself shows that they themselves do not believe in religion, and since they do not believe in it themselves, then why should they expect ordinary people to abide by the doctrine? Every religion says that it is peaceful and equal, and peace religion at least says that it is equal within its own religion. The clergy do not respect religion, what do you make ordinary people think? Religious leaders don't respect religion, so why should ordinary people believe in religion?

This matter should not be rushed, and the Albanian cadres should not do it immediately as soon as they go to Iraq, but they must wait for the Iraqi Communist Party to be firmly in power and the party organizations in various localities have been established before they can do so; now the Albanian cadres are going to Iraq only to become internationalist fighters, first to understand the Iraqi environment, and after the investigation is completed and the Iraqi Communist Party is stabilized, then they will quickly start to set off a movement throughout Iraq.

After arranging this event, it was also the day of Brezhnev's return, and at the talks in Prague, Brezhnev achieved good results, although at the same time Serov and Andropov were mobilizing forces to fight in Iraq. But this is not a contradiction, Brezhnev's policy of détente was directed towards Western Europe, and he never thought that he could deceive the United States, and things in other directions did not matter with détente.

The attitude of the Federal Republic of Germany towards the Soviet Union has changed from its early hostility to its present friendliness. This is normal, because the strength of the Soviet Union has changed, and it is no longer the strength of the post-war years that is not proportional to that of the United States. At that time, the Federal Republic of Germany naturally hugged the thighs of the Americans, hoping to kill the Soviet Union in one fell swoop and reunite the GDR back. Now, more than 20 years later, the strength of the two camps is getting closer and closer, and the reunification of Germany has become a theoretical possibility.

Then there was the May storm last year, when the French left won a big victory in the general election, and the instantaneous change in France made the Federal Republic of Germany feel insecure for the first time, but now de Gaulle is still in control. But since then, France has obviously not been the same as before in dealing with the Soviet Union, and its rhetoric has eased a lot.

The fact that the Federal Republic of Germany was facing an endless array of countries in the socialist camp and behind it was France, which was beginning to become apparently close to socialism, made the Federal Republic of Germany feel for the first time that it seemed that the Americans were a little unreliable and that they should try to develop friendly relations with the Soviet Union on their own.

This need for its own security is no longer within the control of the Paris Coordinating Committee, and even France's own left-wing forces have the upper hand, not to mention Italy, which has been hitchhiking on the Soviet Union for ten years, has long regarded the regulations of the Paris Coordinating Committee as waste paper.

When Brezhnev had just gotten off the train, the Soviet Ministry of Defense had already sent people to wait at the railway station to take the first secretary who had just gotten off the train to the Ministry of Defense, where all the marshals and members of the Ministry of Defense were gathered, and Marshal Grechko personally presided over a ceremony to confer the title.

"Leonid? Ilyich? Comrade Brezhnev, during the Great Patriotic War, showed the qualities of a Communist Party member and showed his fighting spirit in a difficult environment, while in peacetime, as an outstanding cadre, he led the local regional party committees to achieve extraordinary results and displayed superior qualities in various posts. Serov read out the sycophant, "After the decision of the USSR Ministry of Defense, Comrade Brezhnev is now awarded the rank of general. January 29, 1969......"

After Serov finished reading, military music sounded, Defense Minister Marshal Gretchko put on the rank of general for Brezhnev, and other defense commissars, including Serov, applauded at the same time, who could confer the title of first secretary of the Central Committee of the USSR? Serov can say that he did it, at least the letter of appointment was read out by him.

Soon the Supreme Soviet of the USSR awarded Brezhnev the Order of Lenin, and the next day, at Brezhnev's proposal, the Supreme Soviet awarded Serov, Chebrikov, Bobkov, Zinev and Tsvigon the Order of Lenin.

Later, in order to show trust in the KGB, Chebrikov, Bobkov, Zinev and Zvigon were awarded the ranks, and the four were promoted to the rank of general. Serov was publicly praised for his resolute performance on a number of major issues, and publicly stated in Pravda that the Central Committee of the Soviet Union was tightly united, and by no means as some countries maliciously speculated.
